1. EC: We have the entity and those relations with the universe and universal forces, as are latent and manifested in the personalities of the present entity, now called [426].
2. In entering astrologically, these - while they influence the entity from sojourns - in the ordinary term of astrological influence would vary considerable in that as has been builded, and as is manifested in the activities of the entity in the present.
3. These are as abilities:
4. In Aries - an entity that uses the head and the mental abilities, rather than the brawn or physical exertions, to accomplish that as would bring those returns for self in any material affairs. Naturally, the mental is builded likewise.
5. This, in Jupiter, brings a varied influence in the entity; that is, many various characters of individuals in many walks of life are attracted to and used by the entity for the accomplishing of that as would have to be done by or for the entity; yet in this same respect oft through the entity's development in the present have been periods when brawn and physical strength are attracted by the entity, and such in others is attractive to the entity - as well as periods when the entity desires to match same, not only in brawn but match wits, as it were, with the various contacts - and the broad field of experience that comes with one of the influencing in Jupiter.
6. Those influences in Venus make for an alterable and an altering condition in the experience of the entity, and as to whether these changes in the life in the next year to two years, through those squares of Venus and Jupiter with the earth, will depend upon the application of will in the
426-2 Page 2
entity's experience; and, as we find, the culmination, or the period through which the decision must be made, will be between August 15th and November 15th of this present year. The greater stress coming in the last weeks of September and first of October, as THAT the period of the square.
7. Those things BUILDED in the entity's experience in the present, through those relationships that have existed in past experience, used or builded upon in the present, makes for executive abilities of the entity; that as deals with things in relationships to individuals' activities or individuals' needs, whether of that as will add to their physical welfare or to the convenience of individuals; yet it must be THINGS.
8. In the influences builded, also that ability to influence others by the mere force of argumentation; which is BUILDED in self in a great measure rather as, not of sham - but rather that as may be termed a veneer; but the veneer GENUINE - but VENEER!
9. In those things as related to the conditions that are innate in the entity from experiences, and that also builded - while those things that are of material-material, or earth-earthy, are necessary to the well being of the entity, there is not the wholehearted satisfaction as was felt that SHOULD come when there could be said, "Body, mind, take thine ease, for thine house is in order," and the entity has realized that there is but a shell for that house, and this DOES not satisfy that longing, or that ability that is magnified by that which is sincere, or true love - as may be expressed in those of the relationships of individuals for individuals, for that other than that as may be given in exchange; for the entity has, does, and will more and more realize that as was given, that "God so LOVED the world" and those of the human forces, that there CAME that ability that would make for companionship that does not desire pay, doe not desire that that is a sham, nor that that is duty - as moral, or as is socially understood by the world - but rather that of the nature that makes for, arises from, the elements of CREATIVE ENERGY itself - that is NOT balanced either by passion of fury or of body, but the passion of that that makes alive for those forces that bring into being that of the spiritual energies, in the nature and form as to be INSPIRING to one TO DO THEIR BEST in any and EVERY DIRECTION - born of Creative Forces alone!
10. In the appearances and the effect these have had upon the entity:
11. In the one then before this we find in that land when there were those preparations for the settlings of the
426-2 Page 3
peoples in a new land. In England did the entity then sojourn, and with those who SETTLED the land; among those that ministered with those peoples called Cabots did the entity then journey to the land that is the present nativity, and in the first of those settlements that were established did the entity act rather in the capacity of what would be termed in the present as the judge, or judge advocate; that one to whom all carried their troubles. Not troubles as of the supplying of the needs alone; not troubles alone of differences in individuals, but rather in that of both spiritual and material advisor, and in the name Alex Neilson. In this experience the entity gained and lost. Gained in the service that was rendered, for the love of association, the love of the fellow man; losing in the aggrandizing of selfish interests and motives, that judged irrespective of the outcome so the outcome in the favor of self or self's association. Hence in the present oft is the entity termed as one hardheaded, hard to be understood, appearing as a one condition in the once and as changed in attitude in the next - that SELF may judge the both sides of a question; yet makes for ASSOCIATES as of a hard individual to deal with, yet a successful one - and one whom MANY consider the advice and counsel as being worth while.
12. In the one then before this we find in that period when there was the returning of the peoples of the promise land to the rebuilding of the walls of the Holy City. The entity then with those of the latter return, who with Nehemiah aided in the gathering of those things necessary for the replenishing, the rebuilding in supplies, in materials, in the necessities of life, in the necessities for the aiding, the ministering, in the Temple. The entity then in the name Zerghon, and the ENTITY of the sons of those that waited in the temple service, but of the sons of Moses rather than of Aaron. Hence that lineage that made for the keepers of the exchange, the moneys, or the gold or the silver, and waited between those of Cyrus and those of the peoples in the Holy City. The entity gained through this experience, for those waitings, those openings of the hearts of the peoples in an alien or foreign land brought many lessons to the entity, that service to man is the highest service that may be rendered to the God. This the entity has lost in, somewhat, in the present, yet is there that bond ever present that self must be in touch WITH that upon which one may lean, not only in dire circumstances but in joys, in pleasures, in hardships, in trials; yet the entity is NOT YET satisfied. A vision is constantly before the entity, something JUST amiss, something not QUITE understood.

13. In the one then before this we find in that land known as the Egyptian, and during those periods when there were rebellions and dissensions among those that ruled in the land. The entity then among those that with the priest AIDED the peoples in their ministry to the needs of the peoples; for the ENTITY for the priest acted in the capacity of the KEEPER of that that would be given to those that were needy in body adornment, in food, and in the necessities of material life; aiding in the latter portion, however, in the dispersing of, and in the ministering of, to others, those tenets and lessons that were gained by the peoples that were to be ministered to others in other lands, as well as in the home land; gathering of those that were put in as a free will offering was the ministry of the entity, in the name Arpt-Eldi.
14. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it MAY attain:
15. Much may be accomplished yet in the satisfying of that that is so desired for the satisfying of the heart, or SOUL within; for the dregs of unfaithfulness in business associations wear hard upon the entity, and there is that longing for the home WITHOUT foundations, whose SOURCE of love is in CREATIVE Forces - or God!
16. Keep, then, that that gives of self in the manner that is known as the greater service to the Maker, and there comes - with the understanding and awakening forces, with the heart - that which makes for a peace, that comes with SERVICE alone!
17. Ready for questions.
18. (Q) How are things coming out with me in my domestic affairs? (A) As indicated, the latter portion of the present year should make the climax in those strained, or those indifferent relationships as have existed, as do exist, between self and others, between self and family, and those related in duty's forces.
19. (Q) How are my children coming out? (A) This depends a great deal upon the use THESE make for, and of, that as is set by self as example and as tenet. WELL were these one [won?].
20. (Q) How will my business come out here in America? (A) With changes as we find arising in economic, in political, in social changes, these will go through the necessary changes that come with every great upheaval, every great economic depression - but, as we find, these constantly will advance; for, as has been given, PHYSICALLY the house is well in order, when viewed from the financial viewpoint.

21. (Q) How will the foreign branches come out? (A) Some of these WELL; others not so well. On the continent very good, in the southern portions or in South American - or in the Latin American - those of southern or central Europe, well.
22. (Q) How will the new business Mycalex come out? (A) After '36 (thirty-six), very good! Excellent - wonderful!
